The Triangle That Takes the Cake
Both this triangle and the previous one featured super skinny strips, which is probably why I did them back-to-back … I think this is left over from when I thought I would put […]

The Shifting Chevron
It was a super busy time both at work and at home back in early October … so I was looking for a block that I wouldn’t have to think too […]
The Lava Lamp
This triangle block makes me think of a lava lamp. So much so that I wanted to fussy cut to have no flower motifs in this one, since who ever heard […]
The Triangulation
I stupidly started this triangle border assembly process with BR1 (the first triangle I did, and re-did, and re-did). All I had to do was stitch a solid red triangle […]

The Dark and Stormy Night
I started this triangle block at in-person retreat, and finished it at an “at-home virtual retreat” a couple of days later. After the dramatically Covid-infested Spring Retreat, I opted to […]
The Balancing Act
In my blog planning software, I originally referred to this block as “Diamond on Pyramid on Chevron on Triangles on Trapezoid” … and the pieces in this block do indeed […]
The Non-Cheater
Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of Dear Jane quilts where the quilter had used more than two fabrics (one background and one flashy) per block. This is a concept […]
